*Bible Study Special*: Overcoming Grief & Loss

Study Overview:
As a church community we have experienced significant loss since the beginning of the year. Really, these last few years have been difficult with the loss of friends, co-workers, family and loved-ones. I was led to take a pause from our regular bible study series to share some encouragement from the Word of God. Sadly, grief is part of the human experience. Loss is part of life, and grief is a natural response to loss. But we have the hope of Christ, and we know that He is strong enough to carry our burdens (Matthew 11:30). We can give our hurt to Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). We can find solace in the Holy Spirit, our Comforter (John 14:16). In grief, we cast our burdens on Him, rely on the community of the church, delve into the truth of the Word, and ultimately experience hope (Hebrews 6:19-20). Adapted from Gotquestions.com Article
